Cardboard Project

The project starts:

These will be the pinecone spikes.

This is the base

 This is another shot of the base

 This was my first idea for the pine spikes

 The subject.

I covered the base in this stripped cardboard to give it texture.

 The inside of the base

 The first attempt for the base

 Too tall.

Finished project

Better idea for the spikes. I ended up cutting slits in the stripped cardboard to fit the ends inside to make spikes.

Newspaper Tower

This is my newspaper tower.  Lets just say it wasn't exactly a success.  We had to try and get a cinderblock off the ground as high as we could using newspaper and glue.  I didn't think quick enough before I started.  I first started with a triangle shape at the bottom but I couldn't make it stable enough.  So I went with a pillar of newspaper painted with glue to make it strong and I ran out of glue, so the ending of my thought was pretty set back.  In the end I put it on the ground and it fell apart.  I should have planned more before I started!
